The only problem with this metaphor is Russia burnt their home so Ukraine wouldn't have a home and so Russian soldiers could steal their washing machines and toilets because Ukrainians are not considered actual people.

I recommend our solution to COVID over China's solutions to COVID. Even though those thugs are responsible for the disease in the first place. The Western/civilized world has responded to the emergency correctly for the most part. It was the use of caution, guided by science and history. The Chinese on the other hand are consigning entire populations to lockdowns and quarantine prison camps for a single case.

Ugh...you guys.

that is an interesting mix. I guess I'd think Cinnci gives him the fastest route to success.

If you expose something to a Canadian it only makes it colder and drunk.

Damn, just as Trump....

Tennessee just came and went, didn't they? I guess losing an elite QB does that.

She was wearing a leather skirt!

Slightly older news...but welcome Not the Mike Lee nonsense. He's vile. Mitch finally lands on the correct answer after trying all the others for 6-7 years.

Here is the true meaning of Christmas...er, this thread's true purpose.

We will post only the sober and earnest In the "this is the crap we need to cleanup thread" sure thing.

I would bet you don't support granting Ukraine NATO or EU membership because it will complicate Russia's warmongering.

They do negotiate. They have regular prisoner exchanges. They have the grain deal.

And why should Ukraine stop now when Russia is a cardboard cutout of an Army waiting for the door to be kicked in this Spring? Why deny them their right to a victory?

Ignore? I'm sorry but nobody is ignoring the war crimes and egregious violations of international law.

There are certain major corruption issues: e.g., Brett Favre's welfare money. The idea that they would deviate money from athletics to hard science or things that could help humanity is ludicrous.

Weirdly, the ROTC officers I've worked with who graduated from that program have been pretty solid people. Otherwise you would think that any institution that followed their template would produce crack heads.

Fishsticks doesn't like college education for your kid

My best Monty Python memory was my siblings around Thanksgiving table discussing The Meaning of Life gluttony scene. "its wafer thin" My mother was SO angry at my brothers and sister for quoting those lines. Actually was one of the things we talked about at Mum's funeral as one of those great shared experiences.

BWAH!!!! That's amazing.

And, there is an element of the general population that dislikes people who overweight the essential-ness of Monty Python. I'm a giant fan. I think the Holy Grail is essential viewing for children.

The UFR for the offense for last year's game was f'in awesome. I can only imagine what this year's will be like.

love it

There is a lot of history to suggest that DMZs and divided territory are the result of outside sponsors growing tired of wars. Still, the Ukrainians are not done. We've done wonders with the small investment of tech in their war. That experience will greatly assist our defense of Taiwan if we learn the right lessons.
